Be aware that a lot of the medical SUN systems have custom video cards
for which there is no proper Linux support.

If you have the "lssbus" package installed, and you run lssbus, it
should tell you what devices it sees on the SBUS, including your video
card.

I might also be able to determine more from your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
file.
